My mum has become a full-time carer for my 93-year old dad. It's clear to both my mum and I that he has dementia. Some days (usually when he sees a medical professional) he seems perfectly fine, other days, he's totally confused, looking at his spoon asking 'what shall I do with this?' and constantly asking 'what shall I do now?' Today he rode his mobility scooter to the local hospital to ask them to take him in, as that's where he thinks he should be. We are trying to encourage him to go into a home, for better care (and to give my poor mum a break) but he's resisting it. He's seen a 'memory nurse' who indicated to my mum that he has Alzheimer's and, in 2 weeks' time he's due to see a senior memory nurse but no-one yet has actually diagnosed him or told him what's wrong with him. Does anyone have any experience of this? Do we need to get a doctor to see him?
